High property prices in Serbia make buying hard and loans costly.

The high cost of real estate in Serbia makes purchasing difficult, necessitating expensive loans. The real estate market is sluggish, with poor supply and prices that are unrealistic compared to income levels. The purchasing power of most citizens is insufficient for expensive new builds, while those with cash carefully select affordable options. Real estate expert, Kaća Lazarević, points out that square meter prices are unrealistic and unsustainable. Legalization of apartments and resolving issues in the land registry could improve the market situation.
